We are warned that “…Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (2 Timothy 3:13) and “many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many” with “great signs and wonders” (Mat 24:9 & Mark 13:25) This booklet is a scripture study on how people are deceived, or rather how they “allow themselves” to be deceived. It demonstrates that by following the counsels of God contained in our Scriptures you can avoid being deceived and also detect whether you are currently involved in a deception. The information in this study is not merely theoretical, but based upon my own real life experience. These are lessons I learned the hard way. NOTE: This newest version has additional information, another whole chapter, and editorial errors have been corrected.

The Recognitions of Clement

 The “Recognitions of Clement” is a captivating text dating back to the early Christian church. It has been referenced in the writings of early church fathers like Origen and Eusebius. The narrative is addressed to James the Just, the Bishop of Jerusalem, and is recorded by one Clement, a Greek, who chronicles a series of discourses by the apostle Peter, which he is witness to while accompanying Peter in his travels.

Clement begins his account by detailing his own religious search before hearing of Christ, and his anxieties concerning the welfare of his soul. While in Rome , Clement hears the preaching of Barnabas who testifies of the miracles and teachings of Jesus. Clement, being moved by the words of Barnabas, defends him from a mob, and ends up following after him to Palestine where he meets up with Peter. A large portion of the text is devoted to an intriguing disputation between Peter and Simon the Sorcerer before an audience of onlookers. Peter invites Clement to accompany him in his travels from city to city, creating an opportunity for Clement to be instructed more perfectly concerning the faith.

Though the Clementine literature was in use at a much earlier date, it was reintroduced to the world around 360 AD, being revised and abridged in Homilies, and again in Recognitions, and translated into Latin. At the time they were reintroduced, Clement’s writings served as a useful weapon against the resurrection of polytheism, mythology, sorcery, and idolatry.

The authorship, date of origin, and doctrinal character of this writing have been the subject of debate since the 19^th Century, but the importance attached to it by theologians has compelled men of divers belief to examine the subject. After all their investigations, differing opinions continue to prevail regarding these books.

I personally became aware of the Recognitions of Clement nearly a decade ago while browsing the Internet. It has since had a very profound effect upon me. For years I sought to discover where I might obtain a published copy of this work for my own library, but could not find one available anywhere. Worse, there were very few places on the Internet where an electronic copy of it could be found, and those copies were often fraught with numerous errors due to inaccuracies in the scanning software. I feared that the text was in danger of being lost to the general public, should those websites cease to exist. With the advent of inexpensive self-publishing sites, such as Lulu.com, I have, with great delight, taken it upon myself to publish this work, not only for my own personal use, but in hopes that it may be a blessing to others.
